Well, my father, who went to Woodstock and many other wild and crazy concerts during the 60's, listened to some interesting music while I was in the womb and continued to after I was born...which I'm sure influence my outlook on music preference - though being a borderline hard determinist I believe most of our personalities and preferences are fixed at conception.Just a sample of what my dad listened to during my early years:The Crazy World of Arturo Brown - anyone remember him shouting at the intro of the song..."I am the god of all hell fire"...and "fire, we're gonna take to you hell"..."your gonna burn, you're gonna burn...". I bought the CD a few months ago to jog my memory.- German war marches and war speeches from Hitler (on vinyl)...probably a collector album now, with giant swastika banners on the front cover with Hitler at the podium and thousands of soldiers in the audience (and no, I'm not an anti-Semite).- Black Sabbath's self titled album released in 1970 (not 60's but my dad never let go of the 60's until the late 70s)..."What is this that stands before me..."- Hawkwind's "Space Ritual Live" - again an early 70's album but in line with what he listened to in the 60's...."Flying is trying is dying"...great psychedelic stuff. Who knows what he played while I was in the womb in 1967.And of course, a lot...A LOT of Bob Dylan.....many more than this, and in the meantime, my mother was trying to counter-balance all of this with 60's folk music, playing and singing it on the guitar.Kris----- Original Message -----From: stillllscary@netzero.netSent: Tuesday, July 24, 2007 9:47 AMSubject: Re: LOVING NON NATIVE MUSICAL TRADITIONS: was 'gypsy caravan film'i wonder how much being exposed to the music of the 60s while incubating inside our mothers influenced us to gravitate toward musical preference...?
